Salvador Sobral - Amar Pelos Dois (Eurovision Portugal 2017 Cover)

This is my cover of the gorgeous ESC2017 entry from Portugal. I was absolutely mesmerised by Salvador Sobral's performance in the semi finals. The performance, the song, the stage presence - everything was just perfect.

I know that this style of music is unusual for me to cover, and I've attempted as best I can to do this very special song justice. I apologise for my admittedly poor pronunciation - I don't speak the beautiful Portuguese language at all.

I definitely feel like it's the dark horse of the competition and could do very well in the finals.

The mic being used is an Australian made Rode Classic. There's compression and EQ on the vocals but no tuning or alternate takes, it's just one live take.

Lyrics:
Se um dia alguém, perguntar por mim
Diz que vivi para te amar
Antes de ti, só existi
Cansado e sem nada para dar

Meu bem, ouve as minhas preces
Peço que regresses, que me voltes a querer
Eu sei, que não se ama sozinho
Talvez devagarinho, possas voltar a aprender

Meu bem, ouve as minhas preces
Peço que regresses, que me voltes a querer
Eu sei, que não se ama sozinho
Talvez devagarinho, possas voltar a aprender

Se o teu coração não quiser ceder
Não ter paixão, não quiser sofrer
Sem fazer planos do que virá depois
O meu coração, pode amar pelos dois
